Just purchased a new Xbox 360 Elite for my son for Christmas. This is the second 360 purchased within the last 2 years! I have not opened the box as I am leaving it for him to open. The last 360 had the BenQ drive in it and was modded easily. I am curious if the new unit has the light on can you still mod this unit to play backup games? He does not play Xbox live just the backed up games(offline)? Will the current software rev work for this? I appreciate your help!

No, you don't need either of those to do it. Those are just expensive tools which makes the process one step easier.

these are the safest way to do it if he doesnt want to solder on to the dvd drive directly and risk messing up his drive etc.
not all people are as skilled as you bhetrick including myself, this is the best way for people without using a solding iron

YOUR WRONG , the release date is 12/24/08

And he doesnt need that kit, go to xboxscene and make your own custom kit, its all over or google liteon xboxscene, theres tons of threads

Yes, I know that. But the op didn't state anything about what he can or can not do. If you can't solder, that's fine, but why assume that no one else can, either.

The best advice to give would be to list all of his options, not just saying, and I quote, "But you will need a ck3 probe and a connectivity kit to do it."

Then the op can respond for help on which route he'd like to go.
